"Searching for the Grand Paris" "Housing and Construction" "Where will the working classes live?" -The subway will stop here. The mayor and many people think this is a good thing, but I, personally, find it a little scary. If population increases too fast, it will not lead to anything good, in my opinion. If it happened very slowly and we could find housing for people from here who are in difficulty, it would be better. -I believe in the Grand Paris and its transportation system, I believe in the Grand Paris for work, but for housing, I want to believe in it, but I cannot. I expect more diversity from the Grand Paris, especially when it comes to housing. -I have doubts about the future, because it is becoming harder and more expensive to live in Paris. It is more pleasant to travel through it but harder to live in. As a father and grandfather, I worry about the place for families. Schools are closing in the center of Paris. What future is there for a city where children cannot be born? I have no idea. -Paris will become gentrified, and only affordable for wealthy people. I believe the city will need to be reorganized. I worry that it will become a greener city which will be accessible to few people. -The towns east of Paris are very upmarket, whether they are a part of Paris or not. I think that, in the long run, they will become unaffordable, that families will no longer be able to live in the inner suburbs. It is already hard today and it will be harder in 10 years. We can either go further away or even leave for a provincial town. -Because of real estate development, the demand from the state, and the lack of building plots, the people who want to live in this kind of areas will have to move 40 or 50 kilometers away. -I think and I hope that Aubervilliers will not be divided in two, between the new arrivals, like me, who own their house, have a job, etc., and the rest of the population who has always lived in Aubervilliers, who lives in social housing and has not had a say in it. These people have to see neighborhoods growing and their housing projects losing worth and being degraded. From a humane standpoint, this is not the Aubervilliers I want. -Not everybody can afford to live in Sceaux. It is expensive. It is like a cocoon. This is how it feels. There are four butcher shops with high meat prices, you can buy expensive chocolates, there are four upmarket bakeries. This is a way to create selection for the people who live in Sceaux. -In 10 years, I believe Saint-Germain-en-Laye will have the same atmosphere. I do not think that it is possible to build warts here. The population would not stand for it. If people come to live in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, that is a good thing, but not any kind of people. I do not believe in the social mix. -For Malakoff, the implementation of the Grand Paris will lead to more investments. This is what Malakoff needs. On the other hand, there may be some downsides, because rents will go up. Taxes will, too. -I cannot see anything changing. I cannot see anything. Well, some building are being built. Who for, why and how? Will the future inhabitants be able to afford living in these buildings? Will only the same categories of people have access to them? -If Aubervilliers becomes Paris, what will we do? Rents will go up because of that and everything will be more expensive. Maybe some people will not be able to afford their rent. It is already hard for them. If they go up even more, I do not know what they will do. -I look at the buildings outside, but these are not for me. I cannot afford them. These are nice buildings, but what is the point if we cannot afford them? Nobody will be able to afford rent or the energy bills. They will send us to Mantes-la-Jolie. We will not be able to stay here. -When young people from Bobigny think about their future, they think about housing. When you are young and you work, you want to buy a place. All of this may create opportunities for us to live close to Paris but to pay less than for an apartment in Paris. -I think Aubervilliers will progressive become a more agreeable town. But we should remember that some people who have been living here for 30 years may end up in the depths of Seine-et-Marne. Moving poor people away is not a solution. -It is called gentrification. The population needs to change for Vitry to become Paris. That scares me. Vitry's population can never be a part of Paris. -It will become Paris and no longer the suburbs. We can see it with the new tramway, all the new buildings and apartments. They will be for the people from Paris who come and live here. They are nice apartments, but they are not for the people of Vitry. Paris is becoming larger, so people will want to move here. So they need to freshen up the buildings. It could be a good thing, as it would bring in new people, people who live and think differently, and will mix with us. But some people have been living here for a long time, we grew up with these people. And the new buildings are for the new Paris, not because 50 people are living in 50 square meters or something. -With the arrival of Parisians to Malakoff, I am afraid the town may make different decisions to attract people and investors. They may make different public policy decisions, decrease social housing, this kind of decisions. Culture or childcare may take a back seat. -Investors have to think about us. Rents are expensive in the suburbs. This flat costs 800 euros. How can my mother, a cleaning lady who makes 1 000 euros, pay her rent? I understand that the strategy is to increase rents, so our parents have to go to Aulnay, which is far away and not strategic. But La Courneuve, Aubervilliers, Stains are strategically situated. They want to bring executives here.
